Global warming – books to tackle a crisis

Bill’s book ‘The End of Nature’ was a pioneering work in writing about climate change for a wide readership, and not just for scientists. You’ll find it below, along with other eye-opening, succinct and essential reads from the most empathetic minds in the field.
